Sudan III 0.2 %, alcoholic
Sudan III 0.2%, alcoholic, is a valuable diagnostic agent for in vitro applications. Its main use is in histology, where it is used as a lipophilic dye for staining and identification of fat and lipid structures. Here, its binding ability to such structures is due to its lipophilic properties and hydrophobic interactions.
At the chemical level, Sudan III dissolves in the alcohols used, ethanol and 1-propanol, and subsequently binds to lipid structures in the tissue sample. The resulting staining allows visual differentiation and identification of these structures under the microscope.
Application results vary depending on sample type and condition. However, they can help determine the distribution of adipose tissue or other lipid structures in a sample, which may be important in certain disease conditions such as obesity or atherosclerosis.
